Official Indian documents: Masked Aadhaar and DigiLocker

Your Aadhaar and a document fetched from its issuer need different checks from a scan you make yourself. These guides start with the official service and explain how to keep the original electronic file available.

    Understand Issued Documents and DigiLocker Drive, retrieve the issuer’s version and keep official files separate from personal scans.
